Parliament
If you are an MP or are interested in our work in parliament we can offer dialogue and exchange of views with our All Party Parliamentary Group, or the chance to find out about our work with MPs on projects such as Women in Leadership and Reporting the Elections.
All Party Parliamentary Group
We work to inform parliamentarians of the work and interests of the British Council, and act as a forum for the exchange of views in the field of public diplomacy and the promotion of the UK.

Reporting the election 2005
Prominent young journalists from all over the world travelled to the UK to report on the 2005 British General Election in May. They shadowed parliamentary candidates and reported on their experiences in the media in their home country.
British Council Ambassadors
We are working to establish a group of MPs and Peers who are recognised as British Council champions and advocates for the UK and the work of the British Council in promoting the UK, in Parliament and abroad.
Neil Kinnock and Benjamin Zephaniah
